After all Rariola offered Balo to us :D
It's funny b/c I'm usually ok with reclamation projects like Tevez, but Balotelli is unique:

The difference between Tevez & Balotelli is that Tevez had a bad reputation for being moody but was always a hard worker and a team player. Balotelli is moody, unpredictable, lazy, and not a team player.

So the new name is Balotelli?

I thought Allegri said we'll sign players we need, not for the sake of it.

If we're going to continue using the 4-3-1-2 we need a trequartista, not another striker.

I'm just saying, it'll be pretty funny (sad, actually) if we miss out on Shaqiri (a player we need) for Balotelli.

Watch just Neto come this January...
I have actually no expectations at all this January, I am at the belief that Marotta will fuck up somehow so no surprises from me.

Felipe Anderson is going to be awesome. The kid is a beast, and he is still only 21. He is driect, has pace and creativity in abundance. It is understandable that his decision making can be questionable at times, but he is still young, and can only improve. I like how he tore Inter a new A-Hole and toyed with Roma's defense on a couple of occasions today. The way he set up that first goal was sublime.

Since we have no scouts (apparently), we should be looking at making purchases like this. He has that oh so important Serie A experience, and Lazio aren't exactly our rivals. I am sure a bid of 25 million or so can get him. After all, we are likely to splurge 18 million on Pereyra and near 15 million on fucking Zaza, two vastly inferior and more limited players.

I think the problem is that because we are so poor financially we cannot afford to pay our scouts plane tickets to look at talents farther away than Toscana.

There was interest in him last year. But let the guy show something more than about 5 good games before we put 25 mil on his tag...

Not only we shouldn't sign Balotelli simply because he's crazy, insane, the guy has literally one brain cell alive.

But he's also very overrated as a football player. So many people fap over him but he's really nothing special. Hell, the guy choked so many times.
